In response, ICCO & Kerk in Actie/ACT Alliance (ICCO&KiA/ACT) plans to provide live-saving humanitarian assistance that focuses on the priority sectors of Food Security and Water Supply in Eastern Jarar in Somali region. The goal of the program of ICCO&KiA/ACT is to save lives and reduce morbidity related to drought and conflict of 10,000 drought affected (agro-)pastoralists community members and IDPs in Eastern Jarar, in 4 targeted districts: Habuura, Haye, Yacub-Boole, and Haye-Weyne. Key result 1: Improving food security status of 5,000 people (1,000 HHs) Through emergency food assistance to 1000 most vulnerable HHs with the complete country food basket (derived from Sphere guidelines): 15kg maize, 0.5liter vegetable oil, and 5kg supplementary food (famix 5%), and 1.5 kg pulses per person for 6 months.
